<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 2875277, member: 82322&quot;]Have you been able to find any die matches in this series?&nbsp; I have noticed, perhaps because these coins typically sell for $10-$20, they are not studied by die variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have examples of Indian art from the region and period when this dynasty ruled that have a similar design?&nbsp; The example you showed is modern.&nbsp; I like it, but I wonder if we can get closer to the source.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alex Fishman (dealer) wrote “These remarkable and attractive coins are the descendants of the gold and silver Kushan staters ... the Goddess/King design remained virtually unchanged in the 1300+ years history of this issue.”</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be interesting to know how the design changed over the years.&nbsp; For example, I have a similar Toramana II AE, circa 540-570AD.&nbsp; (That coin has always troubled me because the dealer said “There may be a human head in his hand.”)&nbsp; Rather than just looking at the “lotus flowers” I would be curious to know how these differ from the Kushan and Hunnic prototypes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
